You’ll have a talent for causing things pain!<\/p>\n
Yesterday I ended up blowing off a days work to go to the dentist, which didn’t amuse me much mostly because I had put it off so long.<\/p>\n
See, I had what I thought was a chipped tooth but turned out to be a cavity. This guy, though, is pretty amazing. I went early(1:30) for my cleaning appointment(2:15) and he decided to look at my tooth first instead of afterwards; He took one look, grabbed a syringe, jammed my mouth full of novcaine so hard and fast my forehead was numb, ground, drilled, filled and five minutes later I was sitting in the reception area still early for my cleaning.<\/p>\n
And though it is not my personal habit to endorse insurance, let me highly reccomend dentalplans.com. <\/p>\n
Actually it’s not insurance, it’s what’s called a “Managed care” plan, where you go to a dentist that works with this or that plan and you get a discounted rate. Yesterdays’ visit was well over $350 and my out of pocket cost was $150. The plan costs $169 a year for the family and they usually have a deal where you get two or three months extra. So it more than paid for itself in one visit, and the wife and daughter get regular cleanings etc. there as well. The one I use (There are many on that site, pick one your doctor accepts) is Unicare 200. Our company offers dental insurance; it costs $85 a MONTH for EACH INDIVIDUAL and doesn’t cover what this plan covers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
